power wheelies are good for the soul! :thumbup:

Make sure you check out the rear portion of your frame (sub-frame?), they are tweaked easily and it changes the way your bike feels, etc. I am glad you are ok! Welcome to the scratched and dented club! I had a kid decide that he wanted my lane more than I did on the Interstate when my bike...

I replace my stock junk with the All Ballz (sp) and I love them. If your bearings are bad, change them now. It is very dangerous to drive with bad steering head bearings. The lubrication you use is important too! If you use good stuff, then you won't have to change it as often. BTW, it...

When I get my next commuter bike, it will be the FZ1. It feels great, has the riding position that I love about the FZ6, only it has much better suspension and a fun factor with power that the FZ6 can only dream about for only 40 pounds (or so) more weight! I love my FZ6, I have never ridden...

I totally agree with what has been said on this thread. $5K is a lot for a 3 year old bike, plus they made major cosemetic changes in later models. Unless this is the absolute bike for you, I would keep looking unless they wanted to drop the price. However, if this is the bike for you, then...

I was looking to upgrade my forks... google was my friend! Now I find myself constantly checking the site, I need to post more because I don't like my status being so low.... :D

OK, clearly this Soldier was not paying attention during training. First, they are called "Commissary Queens" because when they were first married, they were skinny, then the Commissary made them fat! OMG! Boy am I glad that I don't have a military spouse!

I don't agree with the "standard" approach to break in. I have broken in many motorcycles and I have never followed the stay under "this" RPM during the first.... What I have done is for the first 50 miles do a lot of city driving, varying acceleration, hard, medium, easy. Then I change the...

Re: Jacked up the oil change I know when I tried to get the filter off after dealer service it was a pain and I had to use a screwdriver. I have never had a problem since. I agree with the turkey basting pan, it is much easier than the drip pan I have for my truck. This thread reminds me to...

This forum rocks! I am getting ready to upgrade my TV to a larger LCD or DLP. I thought I understood a lot about what I was doing and this thread taught me a couple new things! Thanks to all!

I have met and ridden with many females. I would say they are just like guys. However, I have met more guys that "think" they can ride, when they really ride like ****. Most female riders are more open to admitting they need to work on their skills and guys try to be too macho. I do agree...

I work in Dublin, we usually have a ride on Thursdays during lunch. Let me know if any of you are up for that and I can give you details.

I am new to site and I love it. I have been riding since I was six years old and I bought my FZ6 when I returned to Iraq, it was my wife's present to me! Since then I have ridden it like I stole it.... ok, maybe not! In March my wife approved the purchase of my new toy! An 08 Busa!!! I...

This is an excellent "sticky" I had always wondered about rep points and who gives them or what. I know that I have quickly become addicted to this site and my work will never forgive me!

I know I paid too much for my bike because I was so pumped getting another bike after a seven year break! But, I got over because I bought an extended warranty and 3 year service plan for $1,000. I put 52,000 miles in the three year period and would have had more if I had not had an accident...

I live south of Sac about 20 miles. I rarely ride in the Sac area as I work in the Bay Area. Let me know if you are going to do a ride and I will see if I can make it.

I have to disagree with the "raining" comments. In March and April there is a rare chance of rain versus February In March of 2008 the National Climatic Data Center Rated California, on a scale of 1-114 (lower number is drier) as a 4. There is always a chance of rain, but March is not a very...

156 miles round trip! But, I have heated gear and Palomares Road is 5 min away from work! It makes lunch-time rides sweet!

OK, you DO want to change your filter as most filters are designed to only do the job for a certain period of time. If you are changing your oil every 3,000 miles or 6 months then you want to change the filter as well. The exception to this would be if you have a lifetime filter that is...
